This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
Yeah look
I get money ho, fuck what you talkin' 'bout
Straight out the slaughterhouse, straight out the dragon's mouth
Fire you can't put out
Tires are standin' out
The coupe look pigeon-toed
I be in a different mode
I be with them different hos
No I mean them different hos
I mean them Weezy bumbaclot different hos
And as far as terrific goes
They kiss that dick with no mistletoes
Diamonds and pearls and pussy holes
Snortin' coke 'til they nose bleed
I'm sittin' high on them inches, I'm in the nosebleeds
I'm on a paper chase, until my toes bleed
Then I get on these beats and let my soul bleed
I put 'em in ya head and watch the holes bleed
My rag always red, like when them hos bleed
Now that's cold bleed, no I mean cold blooded
And I'm so southern, that's why
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard, yeah
Bitch I go so hard
Nigga on the yacht smokin' Cohibas nigga, yeah
She soft as a bush nigga, she purple like kush nigga
We high on that money nigga, we get it from cook nigga
Hit her with that crook nigga, fuckin' witj crooks nigga
Know we 'bout that money and we stackin' like books nigga
Know what I do nigga, them teardrops is true nigga
We stay so fly, ride Bentley coupes nigga
Rolls Royce garnishes and asses by the beaches
Blowin' on that puff and we drivin' foreign features
Higher than whoever nigga know we 'bout that cheddar nigga
Know I got a Tommy gun, gave one to my young'n, son
And we got it together
Forty-seven fifty-one, you gon' hear us when we come, daddy
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard, yeah
Bitch I go so hard
You see the paper gon' come
If not I'm gon' get it
I gotta die with money 'cause I wasn't born with it
It was nine twenty-seven
Eighty two baby do Charity
Hospital aka the city zoo
No pity due to no one
Nobody not all man
They dropped us in the game and everybody's tryna ball
And the small hand'll touch ya
The large hand'll cut ya
But until that day
I'll be a motherfuckin' stunna, nigga
Ball 'til I fall, I done did it for my dogs
Ball 'til I fall, I done did it for y'all
Ball 'til I fall, I done did it for me nigga
Ball 'til I fall, that's the way it's gon' be nigga
Up in the early I done did it for sunshine
Candy on the paint every time I touch mine
Nine stay cocked 'cause I'm good with firin' mines
Alligator with the suede ridin' them twenty-fives
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard, yeah
Bitch I go so hard
Yeah
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This line is slightly incorrect..."It was 9/27, 82 baby do charity, hospital, AKA the city who has no pity to no one nobody"...the correct version of this is...."It was 9/27, 82 baby do charity, hospital, AKA the city ZOO, no pity to no one nobody, not all man, they drop us in the game and everybody's tryin to ball." This is what makes me appreciate rap.
Sorry... still slightly incorrect....<br /> <br /> "It was 9/27, '82 (the year), baby DUE ("due date" of a baby, Wayne was born September 27th, 1982), Charity Hospital* (the actual name of the hospital where he was born in New Orleans, shut down after Katrina hit), AKA the city zoo (yes, nicknamed the "zoo" because the hospital was in a really poor part of town), no pity due to no one, nobody.... (just talkin about being born into poverty/lower class, not born w/ a silver spoon in his mouth)
